event Insurance

For the vendors out there, here's a great site to purchase event insurance from:

theeventhelper.com provided a super easy process, giving you an instant quote based on the number of attendees and length of the event.  Useful for annual insurance as well!

Happy planning!

product review - spray adhesive

I love spray glue!!!  Be careful to distinguish between this and other products like photo mount spray.  It's not as strong as 3M™ Super 77™ Multipurpose Adhesive.

In 1 hour, I was able to create 100 of these double-sided ceremony fans all by myself!  

Just need some ribbon to tie onto the handles and they're all set!

leap year party

had a great time at the leap year party hosted by utterly engaged!  it was held at pandora on green in pasadena.  my favorite feature was the photobooth backdrop by sutando.  the guys were great and they can even customize the backdrop to whatever would coordinate for your event.  

wedding ~ michelle and kevin

it was 5 years ago that i had the pleasure of seeing michelle and kevin get married at the beverly hills hotel.  this tree as their centerpiece was one of the amazing elements that kevin lee of la premier designed for the couple's wedding.  the table is custom-cut in half to allow for the tree trunk to fit in the center.  

stay tuned as i reminisce about their wedding this week!
